Excellent Reckless Driving Defense Attorney

I received a Reckless Driving summons in Emporia, VA for allegedly traveling at a speed of 84MPH in a 70MPH zone along Interstate 95. As an out of state driver, I was a unfamiliar with Virginia's Reckless Driving Law and the fact that I was being charged with a misdemeanor crime upon receiving t...he traffic summons. Once I understood the charge and the situation fully, I was extremely concerned with the process of dealing with the summons as well as the possible outcome/s of the summons. Although the situation that I found myself in was serious, I will tell anyone that reads this review to remain calm and to not get overly concerned/alarmed provided they have a clean driving record and a clean criminal record. Much of the information surrounding the Virginia Reckless Driving law that is posted on the internet is laced with fear and is alarmist in nature. If an individual has a clean driving record, a clean criminal record, and addresses the situation in a timely fashion, the outcome/s of the entire ordeal should turn out to be somewhat "acceptable." I have both a clean driving record as well as a clean criminal record and I handled the situation in a timely fashion. Jason was actually the first attorney that I spoke to. He was extremely pleasant and understanding of my situation and my concerns, he was very knowledgeable of the law and the Emporia court, and most of all, he was reassuring that I would have an "acceptable" outcome if he represented me in the Emporia court. After speaking with Jason, I met with his associate Brian Denk at their office in Richmond the next day and I was impressed and confident with Brian as well. As I am an extremely thorough person, I felt the need to speak to several other attorneys in order to verify all of the information that I had gathered and to "fact-check" what both Jason and Brian had told me. I spoke with more than ten attorneys that handle defense of this charge in the Emporia court. Every attorney that I spoke to, regardless of where in the state they were located or what their fee was for handling a Reckless Driving charge in Emporia, provided me with the same overview of the charge, the same process for disputing the charge in the Emporia court, and most importantly the same potential and likely outcome/s of the charge for me. Every single attorney that I spoke to confirmed what Jason and Brian had told me and also reassured me that Jason and Brian knew exactly what they were doing and were very capable of handling this for me and getting me an "acceptable" outcome. At that point, I decided to hire Jason. I highly recommend Jason Yarbrough Joyner and his partner Brian Denk to handle a Reckless Driving summons for anyone the receives one in the state of Virginia, especially in Emporia. Jason's fee schedule for handling this matter is competitive and his professionalism and responsiveness is second to none. Jason and Brian answered any questions that I had and communicated with me in a timely fashion throughout the process.

Call them first !!

I am very satisfied with the service I received by contacting Joyner Law PLLC and I highly recommend them. They handled my case very efficiently and they got my ticket dismissed (88/70 RD to improper driving!!). I am an out of state resident and English is not my first language. Mr. Joyner has shown ...professionalism and has been very present to answer all my questions on a subject that I did not have much knowledge because the justice system differs from where I come from. I cannot thank Mr. Joyner and his team enough!

WHOOO-HOOOO

AWESOME SERVICE!!! Mr. Joyner was very professional and easy to work with. He gathered all my information, went to court and the next thing I knew I received an email stating that my speeding ticket 69/55 was reduced to defective equipment. YYYYYYAAAAAAAASSSSSS!!! Well worth the investment to not... have to worry about my insurance rate increasing or having to miss a day of work to attend court. THANK YOU MR. JOYNER.

Hopewell traffic violation - resolved

If you are an out of stater and receive a traffic violation in the Hopewell Va region I would recommend Joyner Law. They were extremely helpful in describing the process and provided the services promised at a reasonable fixed price. They represented me in court and I was able to handle the entire pr...ocess via phone and e-mail to get the charge reduced without me needing to show up for court.
